Quiet but close to City Centre. Free parking & 2 bathrooms (one newly replaced)

This attractive apartment provides the best of both worlds; it is within walking distance of Edinburgh City Centre, but is situated in a quiet location with the added benefit of a parking space. With Princes Street and the City Centre only a short walk, you can easily be at the heart of Edinburgh’s shopping, historic and cultural district. For nightlife, the apartment offers convenient access to popular bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. And when you want a break from the bustle and excitement of the city, the peaceful Royal Botanic Gardens are within walking distance (approx. 15 mins), as are excellent transport connections to out of town attractions. The apartment itself contains two bedrooms (one double and one twin, both with new mattresses from January 2024), one with en-suite facilities. The lounge / dining area open out onto a small patio area, for which a table and chairs are provided.

There is a car park for the development which guests are to use. It is free subject to guests entering the vehicle details into the parking system. There is not an allocated spot, but we have never struggled to find a space.

Great location with all the amenities
We loved having the feel of being in a home after so many nights with 3 of us in hotel rooms. The location was fantastic for walking most places we were going. It was so great being able to cook breakfast and do a load of laundry at the last few days of our trip. The people we met in the neighborhood were so nice and the owner answered the phone quickly with offering help.

The apartment was very clean and well-stocked for our 10 day visit. Near public transit and shopping with easy access to busses and the Edinburgh tram. The free parking was a huge bonus. I would highly recommend and use again.

Great spot! Walking distance to everything!
This is a wonderful little apartment. Great location! Great communication with host. Kitchen is set up well. Only knocked it down a bit because the bedroom carpets weren’t very clean and the beds not comfortable. Easy fix! I’m sure it’ll be the perfect place for the next guests!

A nice flat great for families
The location was good- very convenient to the bus and tram (and even a stop on a hop on/off greater area tour). You could also walk easily most anywhere. There are also several grocery store options nearby and the kitchen is well equipped. It was great for our family as there were two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The beds are firm so you might want to take that into consideration if you prefer a soft mattress. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Our stay in Edinburgh
The flat was situated in a quiet part of Edinburgh, a bit of a walk from the Centre, but there were buses and trams. Beds were clean and comfortable. We did communicate with the owner and got an almost immediate reply from him. Car parking worked well using the QR code. There were pubs and cafes nearby.

Home away from home.
The apartment was larger than we thought. Plenty of space for our little one to play. The layout of the apartment meant that whoever was cooking in the kitchen, was not excluded from the conversations taking place in the living room. Apartment conveniently situated walking distance from attractions and shops.

Good location
Apartment is in a good location and on a quiet street. Sam was very responsive to emails. The apartment is dated and the mold in the bathrooms gave the impression that the bathrooms were not clean. The twin beds were not comfortable, as well. Edinburgh is a fabulous place to visit. The people were lovely!

Lovely city centre stay!
We stayed over Christmas with my partner’s sister and elderly mother, and this ground floor apartment was perfect. Prior to arrival, we received detailed notes about how to find the apartment and how to access it - all were very easy to follow instructions. This continued when we entered and were presented with the ‘Welcome Book’. This has all the information we could possibly need during our stay. The location of the property was perfect too; it was close enough to the city centre that we could have a leisurely stroll to the shops when needed, but also far enough out that we were away from the hustle and bustle over the busy Christmas period.

First night was very cold because the heating was not funcioning. The photo's on internet looked better then in reallity. This apartment is outdated and needs an renovation (except 1 bathroom) The rent was to high for this apartment. I think a fair price would be between 150 and 200 pounds per day as maximum.

Edinburgh with family
The flat is in a good area quiet and parking a real bonus plus two bathrooms . The owners are quick to respond to all questions . Nice lounge and kitchen with all you need, a bit tired in places. The main bedroom smells damp and musty however and when the water pressure during a shower forces the taps in kitchen to go on with a screechy noise . Unfortunately beds are extremely uncomfortable and none of us had a restful sleep i think new mattresses are need as mentioned in previous reviews.

This is a clean, well maintained flat close to downtown Edinburgh.
The flat is well maintained, clean and quiet. The appliances are first rate and all the supplies were readily at hand. The furnishings are from IKEA which has good and not so good points. The bed was very firm, for example. Having two bathrooms was a nice feature especially when travelling with others (or teenagers). The owner has provided a good orientation book and previous guests have created a rack of brochures/references for others to use. The flat is walking distance (20-25 minutes) to Princes Street and easy access to Edinburgh's good transit system.

Good location.
The property was good mostly quiet for a big city, very clean all we wanted. There is a but though it said there was a DVD player but it was in the twin bedroom and we always take a film or two to watch to relax etc.... but of course we couldn’t. Which we did miss ,also the beds really are not to comfortable shame because it really worked well otherwise.

The size of condo was perfect for what we wanted and the location was perfect. We did find a few things lacking. For example, no toilet paper which we had to go out and buy, no big deal as we had to buy groceries anyways it was a bit inconvenient until we did. Clothes did not thoroughly dry in washer/dryer combo and we did not find clothes dryer until the last day, maybe a note in the otherwise very informative binder. The squeaky floors and noisy water pipe made for a fun getaway. We would stay there again.
